Super Sales on Super Heroes 6 -Ch27-

Felix had been surprised to find that the cost to move Felicia’s power up to three-thousand percent, which was what his power told him was the limit of her ability to handle and remain healthy, had only been a few hundred-thousand. He’d accepted the power and ate another of Goldie’s cookies, before turning to the cheese and meat.
Goldie and Evie had been appeased it seemed and were now in a discussion about sales and the best places to find them. Evie wasn’t as naive and lost as she’d been when she’d been reborn.
“You know what,” Talia murmured, sitting on Felix’s desk with one hand on his head. “They can be the Housewives. I don’t think I want that gig. I’d suck at it. And not in a good way.
“Like… I’m a selfish monster that just wants sex, stuff, and money. Doing chores and buying clothes and sewing, that all sounds ridiculous. That and from something from yester-year.”
“Nnn, it’s how they’re taming their Dragons,” Andrea interjected. She was currently flipping through her phone and typing messages. He had no idea what she was doing, but she seemed very involved in in it. “Rather than fighting for supremacy against Felix, they’re fighting for becoming the most affectionate or ‘wifely’.
“I get it… but don’t. My instincts are easier. Dumber. Pancakes and Felix. That’s all I want. All I need.”
“When you say things like that it makes me think you’ve got a food fetish and you make Felix slap you around with pancakes,” Talia commented.
Andrea blinked twice, froze, looked thoughtful, then back to her typing.
“Felix and pancakes are mutually exclusive,” she growled out, sounding annoyed. “I bite one, licky licky the other. Mixing them up would be bad.”
“Oh, yeah. He gets all talkative when you threaten any teeth at all or even just graze him,” Talia admited.
“How about we not have this conversation? Hm?” Felix asked with only a little bit of annoyance. For whatever reason they both had been on edge.
Talia was easy, she was just full of nervous energy.
Andrea on the other hand wasn’t normally like this.
The door opened and Faith as well as Lily came back in with the Fire Elemental. Along with them came a squad of the CRG. In that squad all the Elves and Dryads had their hands up and were actively casting.
“Did she try something?” Felix asked as they marched the Elemental forward.
“No,” answered someone. “We just don’t want to even take that risk. An Elemental is a very powerful person. Similar in many ways to things Lily can do, and almost as fast.”
Oh.
Okay.
Then their concern is valid.
Looking to Lily, Felix smiled.
“Any chance you can put an eternally draining battery on her?” Felix prompted. “I plan on turning her inside out with torture. At some point, maybe when I’m feeding her her own stomach, she’ll try to lash out.”
“No-no need to torture me. I’m more than happy to tell you everything I know. Everything. Anything,” offered up the Elemental quickly. “There isn’t I won’t give you just… just ask! Just ask.
“No need to do anything other than ask. Really. I have no loyalty to her in any way.”
“Great,” Felix began, then leaned back in his chair.
“Really. Anything. I’m-I’m Tine and I’m all yours. Whatever you want. Just ask,” said the Elemental quickly, smiling nervously at him. “I’ll do anything. I mean it. I really mean anything.
“Though I could really use some Essence. I spent a good bit to try and fight off that raid after all.”
“Essence?” Felix questioned, he’d never heard of that before.
“Form of Mana,” Lily explained simply with a click of her tongue. “It’s her source of power, who she is, and what she uses to empower her abilities.
“If I put a draining battery on her, she’d die. If we don’t let her eat, she’d die. We’re somewhat at a dilema on how to keep her alive.”
Felix noted all that, then moved on. That was an answer that he’d have to give after he figured out everything he needed to know.
“You came from a planet of Elementals?” he prodded verbally.
“Yes! We’re as numerous as you Humans are here. There’s Elementals from this world of course, but they’re a bit different than me and my family,” Tine answered. She was now standing directly in front of his desk and still quite naked.
Unfortunately.
It was hard not to stare at her beauty.
“We can breed with Humans. As much as we want, by the way,” Tine quickly interjected.
“I recognize the offer. The last several offers. Not interested. Thank you,” Felix muttered. “I’m all filled up on those kind of offers. More than I can handle
“Anyways. Your own planet. Okay… and how does Skipper hold control over you all?”
“A brand. A brand and that we worship her as a goddess. We’re not allowed to leave the planet until we’ve pledged ourselves to spiritual service in her and for her.
“But honestly once we show our devotion it doesn’t really matter anymore on what lip service we offer her.”
“Hm. As a god. Alright. And this… brand, you mentioned?” Felix prompted.
“An ownership brand. Its-it’s a part-well, ah that is-” Tine’s lovely mouth shut and she looked confused and concerned. Then she shrugged and her eyes went back to Felix. “It’s like a MLM scam. We all pledge upwards with a brand, and force below us to do the same. It’s literally in the shape of a pyramid.”
“MLM?” Talia asked, shifting her weight to one side and pushing her rear end against Felix’s hand.
“Multi-level Marketing. Pyramid scheme,” Felix pronounced and nodded his head. “Any way to get rid of this brand?”
“Death,” Tine returned quickly.
“Great. Give your soul to me, then kill yourself,” Felix dismissed with a hand wave. “I’m a god. I’m new to it but I’m a deity. So, give me your soul, kill yourself, then I’ll just rebuild your body without the brand. Simple as could be.”
“I-you-kill myself?” Tine asked.
“Yes. You said you’d give me anything. Do it. Give me your soul, then kill yourself,” Felix demanded. “Oh, Gaia darling? Are you about? Your Husband would really love to lay eyes on you.”
He didn’t have any concerns with laying the compliments on Gaia. With how warm and tender hearted she was with him, she always took them positively even when over done.
“Of course!” Gaia cheered and popped into existence. The immaculate and awe inspiring beauty was dressed in street clothes that she probably stole from Goldie. Tine was mogged outright by Gaia. Every woman was. “Oh, an Elemental. She’s a pretty one. Though… I don’t sense a mark of an god or goddess of a planet upon her. That’s odd.”
“Is it? Do they get a benefit from that?” Felix asked quickly, holding a finger up at Tine in a ‘wait a second’ gesture.
“Of course they do. How could an Elemental worship anyone other than someone like me? A god or goddess of the planet they’re from. They’d receive Essence in return,” Gaia explained with a laugh and a wave of her hand. She came over to stand beside him on his free side. “All my Elementals are in that HQ you built for them. They’re quite happy.
“Goodness, I knew you’d become a full deity but I didn’t really quite understand. You’re my equal in status now, Felix. Just not in power.
“And this world isn’t your craddle. To reach your full power you’ll need to spend a good deal of time on the world you were born. Or where most of your faith power came together. In this case… it’s clearly where you were born, Felix Campbell.”
“Gaia, if power and wisdom were directly related how beautiful one was, none would be your equal,” Felix offered up, peering up at the Goddess. She was one of the few women he could flirt with without shame.
Given her personality that was.
“Oh my, he’s being so forward all of a sudden. I think maybe it’s time we sealed our marriage permanently,” breathed the goddess, her pupils flashing brightly as if they were lit by LEDs from the inside. It reminded him of his Dryads. Then her lips pushed together and he could see her jaw flex. Then she looked to the Elemental.
“Alright. Tine, new plan I need you to-wait, where’s Skipper’s cradle?” Felix asked.
“Your home world,” Tine answered quickly. “She forcibly changed it with a great deal of faith and sacrifices. She did it to spite you.”
Blinking slowly, Felix suddenly remembered how much he despised Skipper. How much he really wanted to see her face down in a jail-house toilet.
“In other words, my cradle is her cradle. Is that right?” Felix confirmed.
“Yes. That’s… that’s what it sounds like,” agreed Tine.
Well, we know how to make a god nervous. Miu gave us the hint herself.
Didn’t she?
Speaking of, we’ll need to check on her. See if Mikki is turned as well.
In fact… now… that I think about it, where’s this worlds Felicia? Ioana?
Were they converted as well?
Is that where all the Legion armor came from?
“Give your soul to Gaia, then kill yourself, Tine. We’ll reconstruct your body without the brand,” Felix muttered and stood up. “Everyone, please leave me be here. I need to do some soul searching and that won’t need anyone to talk to. You can all remain outside if you like, but not in here.”
Tine looked surprised, then looked to her captors.
He wanted to talk to Tribune quietly and without anyone around.
“I… how should I kill myself?” she asked quietly.
Lily sighed loudly, shook her head at Felix, then took the Elemental from the room.
“Don’t kill yourself. We’ll make this work in a different way. Though do give your soul to Gaia,” stated the sorceress.
Everyone slowly left the room.
Unsurprisingly, Talia, Evie, and Faith didn’t leave. They took up a triangular formation near the door and started talking to one another.
What was surprising, was Goldie hadn’t left. Instead, she’d patted Evie on the shoulder once, then came over and sat down on the couch that was in his office.
There always seemed to be the same layout of furniture wherever he went.
She smiled at him, then patted the couch next to herself.
“Take off your armor, get down to your t-shirt and boxers, and come over. Put your head right here in my lap, and let me rub those temples of yours,” Goldie ordered. “Bring your snacks over as well as your drinks.
“Whatever you plan on doing, I’ll remain with you. I miss you. I don’t see much of you lately, and I feel like you’re a bit stressed out.
“And if I’m being honest, if I’m not here, Felicity would force this on you and do it on her own. I took the lead and forced this to my own end.”
Hesitating only for a second, Felix did as instructed. In only a minute he was laid out on the couch with her, eating a cookie while she started to pet his head.
“Now, what can your Dragon House wife do for you, Nest Mate?” asked Goldie, her long fingernails tickling across his hair line.
“Nothing, though I appreciate your presences,” Felix answered truthfully. Then he cleared his throat. “Tribune?”
“Yes, Legate?” Tribune responded from his armor, piled up on a cabinet nearby. To be fair it was likely the closest speaker to him.
“Have you tracked down this worlds Felicia and Ioana? On top of that, have we heard from Mikki?” inquired Felix. “Did Miu check in either?”
“Yes, yes, no, no,” Tribune answered. “Felicia and Ioana exist, both seemed to be living normal lives. I will compare their lifestyles with Hero Kit and Hero Lily to see if there’s any correlations.
“Mikki has not checked in, though we did receive a report from Anya that all things were on track. That she’d met with Mikki and the two of them were working toward making thing work.
“Miu is still on her mission though I do get occasional responses from some of her gear as she activates it.”
“She looking at photos of me on her phone?” Felix guessed.
“Yes… Legate,” confirmed Tribune.
That wasn’t anything out of the ordinary for Miu.
“Going to guess Felicia and Ioana, or this worlds versions of them are already working for Skipper,” Felix lamented. “Mikki was still in her prison thing. So Skipper couldn’t find her.”
“That all sounds reasonable to assume,” Goldie agreed, trailing a finger along his jawline. “It’d explain the not Legion armor. She got a few copies or images and gave it to this world’s Felicia. She in turn replicated it as a cloned piece of tech.
“Though… that doesn’t explain Hero Kit and Hero Lily. I’d scanned their minds frequently. I didn’t detect any signs of problems. They seemed entirely what we assumed they were.”
“I think Kit has a different power. Or Hero Kit, that is. Maybe some type of mind alteration. One that she can place and lay dormant,” mused Felix. “Maybe trigger it with a word or an item. Would explain the gaps and holes in governments.
“Though… we should use that to our advantage. Leak information into the governments that an anti portal device be going live soon. That it’ll lock in outworlders permanently. That it can never be turned off.
“Skipper would flee. Then we just have that Fire girl take us to her home planet. Do the same thing there. Then move off to Yosemite. Same thing there.
“Slowly corner her until she goes back to my homeworld, then pin her there. Once she’s there, we can work at running her down. I don’t think I’ll feel safe or satisfied till she’s behind bars.”
“Or dead,” suggested Goldie.
“Or dead,” Felix agreed.
“After an inspection, I can confirm that there are many of the same near ‘too perfect’ markers in this world’s Ioana and Felicia’s backgrounds,” Tribune offered in the conversational lull. “Therefore it’s more than likely they’re both working for Skipper. Aditionally, I had a portion of code injected into the NORAD system. It was controlled separately and I couldn’t enter the network there.
“Most of the data I’ve retrieved is nothing new other than government secrets and such. Nothing we don’t already have petabytes of. There was one note however that might be somewhat helpful.
“A single system message on a new program. One that hadn’t been updated yet and was run without the update. It attempted to connect to another system before the program was restarted and updated.”
“Sounds like a target to send a LSF raid at before they completely recover,” Felix remarked.
“I’m already putting together a raid package and option to spin up another raid based on the previous raid, as well as lessons learned,” stated Tribune.
“Good. Send it to Felicity. If she approves, it can go out immediately. Change up the roles to give others experience,” Felix confirmed, then closed his eyes. “Alright, any special projects or secrets I need to look into?”
“Ah, there’s one but you wanted it held until another time,” Tribune replied.
Felix had no idea what she was talking about. Chances were it was something he had on hold and forgot.
“Okay, what is it? Now’s a good a time as any,” Felix put out. Then he slowly rolled over and put his face into Goldie’s stomach.
“The vault on Planet Legion has been filled with all gold across all of Legion. This does not include the gold for the Legion of Yosemite, as they have their own Dragon Flight.
“All respective currencies have been replaced with silver and a higher purity to offset the gold coin’s loss as well as copper,” Tribune stated with confidence. “The rooms prepared for the Dragon Flight have also been finished.
“Legionnaire Goldie’s notification email has been prepared and ready for sending. A similar notification has been prepared for Legionnaire Taylor. After they approve and assign rooms to their Wings, the other notices will be sent out.”
With a grunt, Felix realized there wasn’t any way to take that one back. It’d meant to be a surprise for his poor Gold Dragon who’d done everything for him that he never knew he needed.
“Okay, send Goldie and Taylor the notice. Goldie’s been waiting too long to clutch for me. No sense in making her wait any longer,” Felix mumbled as Goldie’s fingers dug into his back and held onto him. He could feel her entire stomach flexing into rock hard muscles at the same time.
“Sent,” Tribune reported.
There was a faint buzzing Felix could feel against his arm in Goldie’s pocket.
“You got a message, Goldie,” Felix stated blandly. He could hear the Gold Dragon breathing heavily with long drawn breaths.
“As a side note, Legate, the amount of gold now held in the Legion vault is likely the largest in the world,” Tribune added. “Gaia is actively guiding mining teams to find more, as well as you have several appointments to transmute bismuth to gold directly with point overages.
“Though given how many points we’ve been using as of late, and that you’re now a deity, I imagine Felicity will want to reschedule many point appointments.”
